printf

A version of printf named _printf created by Kristen Loyd and Wendy Segura.

_printftakes a pointer to a constant character as the first parameter, and a number of subsequent parameters. The first parameter contains conversion specifiers for the subsequent arguments.

Function prints the specified arguments in a formatted style and returns the number of characters printed.

Example of _printf function:

_printf("Hello %s%c", "World", '!')

Output: prints to stdout: Hello World!

Project Notes

Style

All files are in the Betty style. Notes on this style can be found at https://github.com/holbertonschool/Betty/wiki

Compilation

All files will be compiled with the following: $ gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic *.c

Conversion Specifiers

The following conversion specifiers are handled with _printf:

%c: single character
%s: string of characters
%d: signed integer
%i: signed integer

To Fix

Currently, _printf cannot handle anything that needs an output of more than 1024 characters. In the future, we will fix this issue by either a) creating a check for our buffer or b) using _putchar to print everything to standard output and not using a buffer.
